Eliquid Recipes

[Mouser]

My very first DIY liquid flavor:

Equal parts True Vapor 36mg Cola flavor and Bickford's Bourbon flavor.

Since the Bickford's is just a mix of "Propylene glycol and natural flavors," this results in a juice that is 18mg "Bourbon and Coke"

This is a subtle combination. And, quite pleasant... If you vape a very strong menthol, like I have been doing lately, all flavors seem quite limp. But, after giving the menthol a break, I have been trying this Bourbon and Cola flavor quite a bit, and it is very good...

I would like stronger flavors on both counts though. Both the Cola and the Bourbon flavorings are not strong enough for my liking. But, this is a very pleasant combination, nonetheless.

Barbcast - i'll back you up that a lot of it is mental. I was out of juice for a day waiting on the mail so i mixedup some vg/water/flavorings and vaped that. To my surprise the cravings really weren't there.

I haven't tried it since but i will be stepping down the strength of juice i get and mixing it down each time.

I'm tellin ya hon, the cravings are not about nicotine, but check out that article that Kate steered me towards, about MAOIs and smoking, you might see my point from a doctors opinion since mine seems to not really hold weight



I'm tellin ya guys, this is a MENTAL addiction, not a physical one. We THINK we need nicotine cause people SAY so. What we need, as longtime smokers, is the SIMULATED EXPERIENCE to a tee.

Thanks for sharing your experiences Barb! I KNOW for a fact that it is the "physical act" of smoking that kept me smoking.. and now that I'm vaping instead I can use nic juice, or one of my favorite "mixes" using the LorAnn flavorings with NO nic.. and as long as I really enjoy the "flavor" I am totally happy with it being no nic. I'm especially "addicted" to coffee flavor (probably because I was a huge coffee drinker when I smoked analogs) but now that I'm vaping instead of smoking analogs I'm down to about 2-3 cups of "real" coffee per day.. from (and I kid you not) about 15-20 cups of coffee per day! I was previously a menthol smoker... and when I first started vaping I was "obsessed" about getting that perfect menthol taste (even bought menthol crystals to add to my juice) but once I decided I was never going to find it... I now actually prefer other flavors to the menthol/mint juices... but still use them about 25% of the day.

Confused, is this thread about eLiquid recipies or about what a smoker is really addicted to? People on dial-up or with time constraints need to cut cut-to-the-chase.

(Additionally, the mind can only absorb what the .... can endure.)

Sorry if I offended anyone, but time and/or bandwidth is very precious and limited for some of us.

Chadman.......I tried Barb's theory out on Saturday.Woke up just vaping my 0nic DIY....lasted for 6 hours before my "mentally" addicted mind told me I needed some 24mg Cash Menthol...hope your test goes better! The Wiz!

My test didnt go so well either, but it wasnt a fair test since I tried using 50% VG and water. I discovered that VG doesnt agree with me very well, and it did not taste good so there was very little pleasure from vaping it. I smoked a lot fewer analogs though, so that was good. I'll try again at some point when I have some nicotine free liquid with a decent taste.

I'm placing my first order for TW and a spare atomizer today. I bought a starter kit two weeks ago and those cartridges are long gone. I'm confident that I can give up analogs once I have a steady supply of non-addictive nico-liquid!

Mixxy, you're a pure wee trouper I enjoy reading your threads about your recipies etc. I'm afraid I'm back on the fags but seems I'm addicted to this site haha...

I got my LorAnn stuff and pg but though I've tried just a little I've not got right into it, though I do like the marshmallow one, it kinda reminds me of candy floss for some reason.

 

[Walrus]

I made this for my daughter to get her to use an e-cig, it's her favorite drink.

Peppermint Mocha

(measurements are approximate)

40% Totally Wicked's Unflavored 36mg Juice
40% Glycerine
12% Lorann's Mint Chocolate Chip
8% Lorann's Keoke Coffee (this one is STRONG)

Shake well and serve.

Heath Bar:

40% Totally Wicked 36mg unflavored
40% Glycerine
10% Lorann's Chocolate
10% Lorann's English Toffee

I've just ordered TW's 36mg Chocolate flavor, gonna see how it works.

Those recipes sound lovely. Are you finding that you don't need to thin your mix with water or alcohol?

Not at all. Nice vapor, and a little more control over how much comes out of my dropper bottles... when I was brave (stupid) and did a straight TW juice/flavor mix the drops kinda got away from me at times. I also get a more consistent drip size.

 

[Walrus]

This is one of my favorites:

Kickin' Thin Mint

(all measurements are approximate)

40% Glycerine
20% Totally Wicked's 36mg Unflavored Juice
25% Totally Wicked's 24mg Menthol Juice
15% Lorann's Mint Chocolate Chip

The Menthol's flavor doesn't really break through the Lorann's, but you get a nice Menthol kick that was missing from the MCC alone.

 

[Jaaxx]

You nailed that one!

I have found that thicker liquid is ideal for dripping, but that it does not wick out of carts as easily.

 

[rsngfrce]

My first attempt...

15% Lorann Cinnamon Roll flavor
30% PG
55% TW 36mg unflavored

resulting strength about 20mg.

Not strong enough flavor for me. Added a couple drops flavor directly to cart which helped. I'll work on it...

Ditto Walrus!
Your recipes sound yummy.. and look forward to trying them! I haven't had enough mixing bottles.. so I finally ordered 50 empty plastic drip bottles.. and should have them this week. Now that I have my big bottle of PG I'm anxious to try the rest of the LorAnn flavors I bought and haven't tried yet.

hi, im still new to this product. sorry if i sound too stupid.
i have ordered the e-liquiud and is waiting for it to be shipped. but in the mean time, i ran out of cartriges and was wondering what i could do?
i have some regular cigarette filters and wonder if i could just plug it in the empty cartriges and drop some glycerin in it without e-liquid?
i really hate smoking the e-cig without vapor. do you think it'll work?
sorry if this sounds really stupid..

Thanks pseudonym! Well, I'm really glad you're addicted to the forum..... and maybe the return to the fags will only be temporary! I still haven't tried the marshmallow yet.. but I will once my new bottles get here.

Hi pigpigc

Do you still have the cartridges that came pre-filled with your e-cig? You can drip into the filler (that is empty) in those if you haven't thrown them away? I don't know about using a regular cigarette filter, but some have purchased a filter material made for using in fish tanks, or other materials to replace the fiber in the filters. I think there is a thread somewhere with the things that have been tried, but don't remember if anyone has tried a cigarette filter.

OMG I'm going to have to make a gallon of that!

OMG I'm going to have to make a gallon of that!

LOL, I did find that the little 3cc bottles I was making up don't quite cut it on my best recipes (namely the Peppermint Mocha and the Kickin' Thin Mint) so I went out and found glass dropper bottles in .5 oz sizes. The link is in this post of mine:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tips-tricks/8411-bottles-travel-kit.html

Unfortunately, I'm now out of my unflavored juice and the TW US site is out of it. I've ordered from the UK site, but who knows how long it's going to take to show up? Those .5 oz bottles eat up the 30ml bottles that TW sells.

I do have a full .5oz of those two flavors though, and a .5 bottle precut with glycerine waiting for flavoring to be added. I'll have to nurse my other 6 flavors cause there's no relief in sight.
